NEW YORK (AP)  -- Prosecutors have charged 41 people, including several members of the Crips street gang, with selling crack and other crimes at a Queens housing project.

District Attorney Richard Brown and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly announced the charges on Friday against the suspects, most of them men in their late teens or early 20s.

During a six-month investigation, undercover officers made 150 purchases of crack, powder cocaine, heroin and marijuana on basketball courts and other spots at the Woodside Houses. The complex has 20 buildings with more than 3,400 residents.

Kelly says the operation "nipped in the bud the emergence of the drug dealers who were peppered throughout the Woodside development.''

Raids resulted in seizures of drugs, cash, guns, bulletproof vests and handcuffs.
